SPECIFICATION forming part; of Lettera Patent No. 302,021, dated July 15A, 1884.

i Application led January 12, 1884. (No model.)

a citizen of the United States, residing at Titusville, in the county of `Crawford and 'State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Radiator-Connection, of which the following is a specification,` reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to an improved means for connecting steam-pipes withthe radiator; and it has for its object to provide a device whereby disconnection, when necessary, may

A further object of the invention is vide a device for'this ypurpose which shall be Y cheap and simple in'its construction, durable in its use, and one that maybe readily applied. v

With the above-mentioned objects in view the invention consists in the improved construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described, and pointed out inthe claim.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of my improvement 'applied' to a valve. Fig. 2 is a Vertical section of the saine, and Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of -parts detached.

A represents the valve, which' is of the ordinary construction, with the exception of the piston B, which is formed at the end of said valve and has connection therewith.

C represents what is termed the .iiooriiange,7 the same consisting of aange, b, having projecting from its lower end an extension, c, which is screwthreaded, as shown. This loor-iiange C is adapted to be connected with the steam-pipe, which is carried tothe proper point beneath thefloor, a' hole bored therein, and the iioorflange connected to the pipe, which is screw-threaded to receive it. Upon the upper side of the fiange b is formed an extension, E. A lshort distance above the rim to prf.

or hanged is a flange, le, which is formed by increasing the diameter ofthe space within the eXtensiouE. The upper portion of this extension E is screw-threaded, toreceive a inserted therein a perfectly steanrtight joint is formed. y v

The operation of my improvementwill be apparent,and is as follows: The steam-pipe is -brought to the proper position beneath the floor, ahole bored therein, and the oor-iange inserted and connected to said pipe.` The valve, with` the piston attached, is then screwed into the radiatorsecurely, and the radiator'set in position, which forms a stuff- `ing-box for said piston. The valve is-then connected to the radiator by a pipe adjusted upon the screw-threaded portion of the valve.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, i's- 'Ihe herein-described connection, consisting of a iiange having a downwardly-projecting Ascrew-threaded extension, saideXtension being provided with an inner shoulder, a stuii'- ing-boX formed at the upper end of said flange, said stuffing-box having an interior screwthread, a lange, F, having the screw-threaded eXtensionf, and a packing of asbestus, substantially as set forth, in combination with the piston B of the valve A, said piston rest- `ing upon the shoulder d.

In `testimony that I'elaiin' the foregoing as r.my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
